Allowing a stop button is a powerful tool for leaders.
It gives people the opportunity to question you. That is certainly a stop button. But if you don’t, you may be making an inferior decision on limited viewpoints. It also empowers people to express their POV and to provide a new idea to improve anything, even if it ain’t broke. Challenge old standards/systems. These are just a few reasons why leaders should consider giving their people access to a stop button.
